quite alot has happened. hmm stuff like rj losin rugby to ac 13-11 yest. how we've found our team jersey (nice nice black converse jersey). a short spot of pool wif bballers after trainin todae. sittin down at macs to ponder e team n our chances. and esp e bball finals on thursdae, hc vs sa.
on thursdae i saw the underdog win. saw giants dethroned. gd job hc for beatin sa. despite astonishing free throw shooting from sa (better than average nba team standard), they still lost to hwachong's very very agressive, fast break and in the paint bball. hc had inidividual brilliance too, their pointguard/smallforward made key steals numerous times, scorin on e fastbreak every single time save once, even getting foul-ins. atmosphere at toapayoh sports hall tt dae wuz damn psyched up. it's a pity only me jack rayner n xudong were there.
watchin them play i cudn help by wonder, 'are we gd enuff to be playin here nxt yr?' and after awhile i decided emphatically, yes. admittedly we're a very raw team. there's alot alot to be done. but i believe e potential is there. we train now wif e aim of bein champions nxt yr. it's a pity even among us not everyone shares the same sentiments. but this is just the beginning, i hope those of us with the fire can ignite the rest. blood, sweat and tears will take us there. a few dollops of faith would help loads too. plenty of time before season nxt yr. we're gonna train hard, we're gonna make mistakes now, but we'll learn, we'll learn fast. as i believe, do your best, let God do the rest.
btw i'm bball treasurer haha. wat a fix everyone owes me lots of money now, help!!!

not bad gp common test wuzn killer. abit of cockup but yea i think it's b for me.
bball... what can i say... hmm... now i think we're startin to show our potential. fullcourt game on tues wuz gd, made my field goals, zhikai made his layups, tho dribbling n passing especially were messy.
todae... shud haf made more of my close quarter shots, i'm not reeli sinkin my shots off the board altho shootin in general is improvin. hmm a few set plays todae, thanks lots to joshua n jervis for coachin us haha... needless to sae we got off to a reeli slow start, set plays reeli need to be done 10388217349814 times bfore it comes easy.
bummer, dad nearly locked me out of e hse todae. i mean i had bball trainin. trainin takes a long time. ah well.
hmm dis is bad i'm broke, reeli broke. like i haf less than 5 bux for e rest of e week. darned embassy tix. hope my bro comes back quickly so he can pay me...
btw tests in e rj hall r quite shat. it's hot, humid n u start to sweat after awhile, since e rj uniform is as thick as the vp's skull.
haha we're gonna ask mrnah to open up positions in e committee for treasurer and quartermaster. a 5 member bball exco. cool huh... lolz

sleep isnt coming to me.
dun think my mind is troubled... not reeli aniwae
mebbe its e music, songs wif nostalgic value shudn be played when u wanna sleep
e onslaught of memories, feelins and emotions. e intensity juz fuels u.
the pain the joy all mixed together. u cant differentiate one from e other animore.
i've been uncertain abt my own feelins for so long.
i've been hurtin for so long.
i've stood still for so long.
i wanna move on, and then some.
i wish things could be e way they were.
at e same time i'm glad i din let myself sink into despondency.
i dun reeli feel much for her. not now aniwae. but i used to. i oso noe tt my feelins can resurface very easily.
i'm in limbo. i'm in stasis. i try to move forward but the past is holdin me back.
i shouldn't go on like this. i can, but i shouldn't. e lack of finality, e inconclusiveness, e tentativity. my mind duzn wonder to these issues often. but it happens nights like dese. i'm not empty. but i wish i cud get close to someone again. n e times wif her were euphoric. well it hurt too. alot. but we're supposed to suffer in love right?
it'll be 5 months past soon
i haf no damn idea y i dwell on this so damn long
i approach this all wif a certain degree of nonchalance. but still, that slight, niggling feelin. wat is it? i dunno. e end to this chapter of my life must come soon. i will move on. i must. with or without her. either option is tantalizing. 5 months of deliberation yielding no concrete decision as yet.
but i alwaes make it. i mean it, alwaes. i'll find my way.

it's been awhile.

but here i am, the trials have begun.
apart from tt i'm in abit of trouble so i'll watch my step, i'm not keen to be blacklisted for e rest of rj life.
but yea, i mean lectures r sickenin. alot of sch is.
tt gp passage abt how education is e cause of creeping cretinization in our society... so poignant... so true
f sch

but seriously my lot in life is alot better than described. i think. i may be strugglin now but it's ok, it'll be over soon and i'll be home free. i can't wait to go back to my old ways. pool, bball, clubbin, generally paintin e town red ^_^
how i wish sum tchrs wud stop bein tightassed. if my parents r ok wif e issue den stop buggin me abt it. yea scram u shats.

hmm aching all over, and tt 5cm diameter cut on my upper thigh hurts loads. need a miracle skin sealant dammit.

temperature bouncin up n down, but e funny thing is i dun feel sick at all, even when my temp wuz at 37.5, so yea shan't care too much abt it, juz drink more water.
guys' bball n gals' (i mean wat else...) netball got kicked out. sad. esp bball, we deserved to win sat's match. we played a v good game but were suay enuff to get a biased referee. call this an excuse, but in this instance it's a valid one. we only lost by 1 shot, n e ref denied joshua's shot in e last 3 seconds, e moment it went thru e net he called travellin n din count e shot. wth. aniwae to e j2s i'm sorry ure season is over, u've all done ure best, i applaud all of u. j1 ballers, the time is now, psyche up for nxt yr, in fact there's youth cup end of june or start of july. despite wat everyone says, i think we haf enuff talented ppl. we haf plenty of time to prepare so lets train wif one goal in mind, the best tt we can be. i believe we're medal material.
chem test tmr, bonding n structure, there reeli isn't much to be remembered, it's all abt how u apply e info, n tt can make it kinda hard.
hehe mum's dae todae. got mummy card + dis exp perfume set :) had family lunch at pizza hut too, nice, cud haf been nicer if e service wuz abit more prompt.
hmm aniwae got to plae pool for free todae. so thankful my bro loves nineball so it left most of e striped balls unused. while he played wif his frens i juz practised sum pottin alone on another table.
matrix reloaded out nxt wk. can't wait man. but yea if neo is indestructible digitally den like wat's e pt rite haha.
reminder to self: 80+% for free throws, 40+% for field goals, 100% layup conversion

i like goin off e beaten track. we all take different roads to our final destination, n i tink mine's abit more undulatin, but it's alot more exciting. i'll do my thing rushed, last minute... but it works for me n tt's all tt matters... i refuse to compromise on time for pool, goin out, bball, sleep, com games, fone calls, bumming... academia will inevitably be at e tail-end... but yea cum promos or a's den pia abit la

searchin for a nice midi file tt's been playin again n again in my head. last time i heard it in real life was like 3 yrs back... has a spacey n meditative feel to it

hmm... hmm... irritated. like e timetable is quite effed... esp for fridae. do wad i do man, go for fridae prayers den come back to sch for lessons... pissed off liao... last time finish at 1230... now come back for lessons till 350... kns
so basically i haf a plan for fridae post 1oclock liberation
typically 4 fridaes a month, 1 fridae i'll zhao early cos of dental, 1 cos of stomachache, 1 pon sch altogether, n den n den for e last fridae... ah eff it... eff sch... aiya heck la pon den pon la kena screw den screw la... like e timetable is so blardy murtabak. scru rj admin deeks

eh pool wif rencong last nite wuz a wake up call. even if i won, it wuzn by a large margin, wake up zhafri, esp if u wanna chiong sua e national squad

how to make sure u score 20+ avg in bball games
i) make ure free throws (60%+ pls)
ii) hit 2 longer shots per quarter
iii) muz convert layups (quite scrued la smtimes when u kena pressure)
therefore i muz drill my freethrows to nail 70+% in practice
hmm muz train to sweetspot from e wings... usually dun come under pressure there... n yea from behind e arc too
n layups... aiya weird la i'm right handed but lay up better wif my left hand... n i use it when i approach e basket from e left... AND from e rite... therefore muz improve left hand dribblin to free up right hand for layups...

soccer todae... rj plae dam dam hum lor... quite constipated n they had like less than 5 shots on goal i tink... wtf... vj played alot better but yea 0-0 draw is gd... okae start considerin vj r defendin champs... rj's weakness is midfield... almost non-existent... din watch mj sa match after tt tho... bballin at e sajc court... as usual e softballers put up a gd gd game... alex plays like e ideal centre... n yiying will hit e pressure shots... pressure meanin his ego at stake la... most of my shots are from far far outside... shud be doin abit more drivin... but not 18 yet leh dun haf drivin license (yes do refrain from smashin ure com screen)

well bumped into hongyi at e match... thinned his hair n now it's twisted n spiked... haha i intro-ed him to gatsby matt wax... has been usin it since 2 months ago... quite rox... considerin he's in vj his style is prob more radical n funky? haha like yes good game vj neeerrrdddsss... aniwae yea happy tt hongyi's gonna chiong for vj airrifle capt... but yea stop daoin ure crispy la hongyi... u'll prob regret it later on

haha mass blue slip la my classmates... sya, ili, pat n norain ponned sch altogether... n all watch soccer... chao geng sia...

oh xmen 2 is... ok... too mani liberties taken wif e storyline tho... aniwae yes cyclops rox... i mean like he has e most raw power of all. prof xavier can only kill everyone if he uses cerebro... cyclops juz takes off his ruby visors or specs n yes... haf fun world...

rj vs sa for bball tmr... i'm not in team but yea... i reeli hope rj holds their ground... sa r defendin champs... eff man... darren must hit his 3s n everyone else must convert darren's shen passes... jiun-haur muz relak n hit his field goals... in trainin like almost flawless but dam major drop cum competition... n yes capt gab ho... flair abit for us all yea!

weekend is here... time to sleep... sleep... ball wif e neighbourhood bengs... n yea og outin... shack ah lets pon sch on mondae...
